I love Kuirassier Helmets, would love to obtain one some day, fantastic helmet, and a KR2 is certainly a once in a lifetime piece.

Beautiful helmet congratulations Steve
I wonder why they never painted the outside of the Helmet Feldgrau Seems to be poor design to paint the underside visor and then ignore the outside which is what you want to make less of a target.
The spike, trim and Wappen are all given a coat of Feldgrau and placed on what would be in the field a mirror.
I was thinking maybe because they were issuing covers to offer some camouflage but then why paint the trim, spike and Wappen? There has to be a logical reason but I'm missing it.
Maybe someone knows for sure or at least could make up something that sounds a convincing reason.
